Yet another banger from J Dilla off of the Only Built 4 Cuban Linx 2 album, which I may remind you drops on September 8th. You may recall that the beat on this track was on the re-release of Jaylib, Champion Sound on the track “The Red”. I remember when I heard the beat initially (on the Jaylib album) and was kind of disappointed that Madlib had changed it. Either way you look at it, the beat does knock like crazy and these guys are dope as hell over it. Cappadonna’s verse is a little below average compared to Ghost Deini and The Chef, but it’s still a dope ass track.

Ghostface Discusses Fishscale

I really wish my man Ryan was still around, because he would absolutely love this video. In this video Ghost breaks down what is probably his most critically acclaimed album, Fishscale. In the video he says that he went into this album having doubts about being able to write not smoking weed. He also mentions how he switched up the production on Fishscale to a more “underground feel” which included Pete Rock, DOOM, J Dilla & Just Blaze. I love hearing Ghost talk about Dilla & the “Whip You With a Strap” beat. He said he heard it and he felt as though he had to conquer it right away, and for him to lay down special meaning with his mom is some real ass shit.

Ghostface & Raekwon Live @ The Nokia Theatre

Posted in Media, Video with tags , , , on Monday, August 10, 2009 by Tim Althaus

Here is some great footage of Ghost going through damn near the whole fucking Wu-Tang Clan catalog. The crowd goes absolutely crazy when he starts messing around with the ODB shit. You can hear the crowd singing pretty much the entire song, which shows just how loyal Wu fans can be. He also runs through “Triumph”, “Wu-Tang Clan Ain’t Nuthin’ to Fuck Wit” & he brings The Chef out for the rendition of “C.R.E.A.M.”. I haven’t had the pleasure, but I can’t imagine what it’s like to see Ghost & The Chef do a show together. These two just feed off of each other like crazy, and the energy the accrues could blow the roof off any venue.

Ghostface Speaks on The Pretty Toney Album

We’ve already seen the Wallabee Champ talk about Supreme Clientele & Bulletproof Wallets, now this time he runs through The Pretty Toney Album. I don’t know about you guys, but when it comes to Ghostface, Pretty Toney is definitely up there when it comes to his catalog. Apparently during the recording of this album Mr. Fishscale himself quit smoking weed, because it got to be too much of a nuisance. Listen to one of Hip-Hop’s greats drop knowledge. Just like Shake said, if you don’t have these albums in your collection you are an epic fail.

Ghostface Speaks on Bulletproof Wallets

You may recall that I posted the video of Ghost talking about his album Supreme Clientele. This video has Mr. Starks talking about his album Bulletproof Wallets. Ghost mentions that he thought it was a good album, but there were some songs that were fucked with when it came to the final product. He said that they made him change the beat on “Flowers”. Tony mentions that the beat change kinda messed with his creativity. Either way, Bulletproof Wallets was dope, and so is pretty much everything that Ghostface has done.

Ghostface Talks About Supreme Clientele

Vodpod videos no longer available.

Here is some footage of Tony Starks talking about, what is (and probably always will be), my favorite album of his, Supreme Clientele. I was just reminiscing last week about how I love re-visiting Supreme Clientele so much. Ghost talks about how it was one of the funnest records that he’s ever recorded, not to mention how he thinks he went to jail during that record. He also mentions that it was a time when those cats were doing a lot of drugs and staying up late in the studio, another testament that arists on drugs make great fucking albums. Hit the jump to view Ghost Deini on his new R&B album, and not being able to turn Hoes into Housewives. Continue reading

Is it just me, or does September 8th seem right around the corner? With joints like this one, you can’t blame me for being anctious. This ridiculously fire track comes via 2DopeBoyz, and it will also be on Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II. Raekwon brings along Ghostface, Inspectah Deck & Method Man to drop some mad Wu flavor on a Dilla treat. As you would expect all 4 emcees rip this shit apart (especially Ghost) on a ridiculous Dilla beat.

This video has Tony Starks listing off his top 5 emcees (with the exception of another one). Ghostface is one of the most consistent and potent cats in the game, and it’s good to see him giving other emcees props.

Raekwon Talks Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II

Posted in Media, Video with tags , , , , , on Friday, July 24, 2009 by Tim Althaus

As my man Nolan mentioned earlier this week, Raekwon finally dropped the album artwork and tracklisting for Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II. In this video he talks a lot about the production that his going to be on the new album. He mentions that when he was going through the process, he thought that production was going to be the biggest piece of the album. Rae actually breaks down how dope he thinks (and I think) Dilla is on the boards. He calls him “like a Dr. Dre & a RZA… a combo”. I’m sure that you can expect nothing but straight fire from Rae & Ghost. Make sure you drop that shit on September 8th, you won’t regret it.
